Strengthening the Role of African Regional Centres of Expertise to Deliver the SDGs

On 26 August 2016, the UNU-IAS/Global RCE Service Centre will organize a side event in Nairobi, Kenya prior to the Sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI). The event on “Strengthening the Role of African Regional Centres of Expertise to Deliver the Sustainable Development Goals” will be jointly organized by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), RCE Greater Nairobi and the African Regional Centres of Expertise Network.

This event will explore ways of strengthening African Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs) as multi-stakeholder partnerships for scaling up innovation, resources and action to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in local and regional contexts. The event aims to highlight and promote the role of education for sustainable development (ESD) in achieving the SDGs at local and regional levels, and will also showcase the work of the Global RCE Network on ESD.
